For a moment, I thought the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. was the first treadmill on the ISS, and was expecting there to be hell to pay. Nevermind. Crisis averted.

So, uh, does anyone even make any non-crew-rated resupply vehicles that survive reentry? Because, if not, I'm not sure what else anyone would expect them to do. Space is kind of at a premium on the ISS and you don't want to add clutter by tossing it into orbit.

It knew what it was getting into when it launched up there. I say let it burn. ;)

scottydoesntknow:What's wrong subby? I think that's a badass way to go. I'd rather be floating through billions of miles of space than stuck 6 feet under.

We spend all this money on Voyager and the first thing the aliens find is going to be a treadmill. And they are going to spend centuries trying to puzzle out what the hell this thing is and why we would send it to them.

Good. It'll delay the inevitable invasion after they reach the 2000's block of TV with all the reality show crap.

It would be funny if it fell from orbit and struck a jogger. Because I don't jog so it wouldn't strike me. But if it fell from orbit and hit some idiot in a Miata, it wouldn't be funny. Well, maybe funny but not ironic. And I was going for funny ironic.

wrong, it will start it when they think we are telling them they should lose some weight

This is what happens when you let a woman into the space program. They want an exercise machine. Then they never use it and finally,the cheap Chinese magic fat ass remover breaks mysteriously while it was innocently collecting dust bunnies under the bed. Now you're out $$$ and have to get rid of a goddanged thing that throws your farking back out when you try to toss it out.

I always kinda liked Tommy Lee Jones' spot on the moon. Just sitting there, chillin out, for all eternity.

Spoiler alert!

Is 13 years enough time for the spoiler alert to expire, or is that still too.....fresh

Exactly. What else is there to do?

There's no reason to put a shield and parachutes on a resupply vehicle. That's a lot of weight that can't be used for supplies.

And one more time the assinine tag applies more to the subby than the content. There is no justifiable way to bring that back down so that it could go in a museum. Now, if you want it back on earth, that's not a big problem. Just put it in a decaying orbit that will land in Australia somewhere (because fark australia)

I don't blame Bob and Bill. If my mission commander had that shiat eating grin on his face all the time I would wonder about my safety too. I've seen that guy smile through some pretty unfortunate wrecks.

Nobody should be happy when the command module has a crappy disconnection, rolls over and the parachute is ripped off during a messy re-entry caused by botched staging and incompetent designers.

Nobody should have a look of awe on their face when they get into a stable orbit but burned all of their fuel to get there and have no way to get home.
